Shade trees

Shade trees are wonderful things. Any tree pretty much is a wonderful thing. We can take 'Tickle Tongue' trees off that list but pretty much every other tree is a wonderful thing. 'Tickle Tongue' trees have thorns sticking out all over them. ALL over them. And they do not tickle anyone except the person that is not getting touched by one of them. But back to Shade trees. Right now here at the end of July there is a great need for shade trees. It is hot and it is dry out here in my world. Even my pond is getting dry. Not all the way dry just not a swimming hole anymore. So I stand under the Shade trees. I have to go out in the sun to graze of course but mostly I stand in the shade.

The water in the watering tank is nice. There is a hose that drips cool water into it and maybe only about four or five inches of water in the bottom of it so it stays pretty nice to drink. It's nice when the human girl gets the drip regulated so that it stay almost cool drink all the time. Summertime is a good time to have nice fresh water to drink. All year it is nice to have fresh water but in the summertime like right now to have it just coming out of the hose is really really great. Cool water is much more fun for me to stick my nose into and splash around than water that has been warmed by the sun.

Yesterday I got to have a sponge bath on my head. She said that it was too hot for her to getting me wet all over because I was all sweaty from playing but she used the big soft sponge and cleaned my face. I think we have about thirty more nights before it will start getting cool again and I don't even have a guess when it will rain again.

Probably I will get to play in the sprinkler before it rains again............
